Bushmills 25yr Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Immediately one of the longest-aged Irish whiskeys available everyday, Bushmills 25 Year Old builds on the legacy of the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery with an exceptionally robust spirit. The predominant influence of maturation in first fill ruby port pipes produces a complex and rich whiskey, brimming with notes of ripe and juicy dark fruits.

Triple-distilled from 100% malted barley, the first release of the Bushmills 25 Year Old was filled into Bourbon barrels and Sherry butts on 22nd November 1995 before being re-casked into only 27 "First-Fill" Ruby Port Pipes on 25th October 2001.

NOSE
Rich and complex. Intense ripe hedgerow dark fruit aromas mingled with honey and gentle toasted wood offer the first glimmer of the age of this well-rounded whiskey.

TASTE
Sweet almond tones followed by the caramelized cherries, plums and blackberries delight the taste buds before developing into rich dark chocolate mingled with sweet spices and finishing with honey and damson - simply luxurious.

FINISH
The remarkable ever present warm oak, port sweetness and gentle spice continues to flourish long after the last drop has glided down inviting you to taste this exquisite single malt again and again.

This aged spirit shows Irish whiskey's dark side. It retains the enticing fresh-fruit aroma of younger bottlings, plus a luscious layer of butterscotch. On the palate, it's oaky and drying, with complex notes of toffee, dark chocolate, toasted nuts, caramel and a spicy finish. The whiskey is aged for a minimum of 19 years in former oloroso Sherry and Bourbon barrels, then transferred to Madeira casks for the final two years of maturation. Treat it like Scotch: add just a splash of water to open up the flavors.
